Bump?

You look decently competitive. It’s hard to get in, but it seems like you could have a shot.

I think your stats and ECs are sufficient to get in – your class rank probably makes up for GPA a bit (if I understand the 100 scale correctly, that is about a 3.83 or so). I think Low Reach.

You have a pretty good chance in getting in.
